It’s the annual pump-up for the Wildcat homecoming match. Weber State University head coach Jay Hill will speak at the Homecoming Week Pep Rally and introduce several of the football players to the rest of student body.

Every year, the rally prepares existing students, student athletes and alumni for the upcoming events within Homecoming Week. These include the Clubs and Organizations Casino Night, Chalk the Walk, Dive-In Movie Night, WSU Salutes, the Homecoming Dance, Wildcat Fan Fest and the Sept. 23 football game against the University of California, Davis.

An estimated 300 students attended the event last autumn, making it the largest pep rally at Weber State in the past few years. Jeffrey Craig, an alumnus who returns to Weber annually for all the Homecoming activities, told The Signpost in 2016 that the rally was one of his favorite events.
